Running performance and availability monitoring extensions

This section describes how to configure and control the performance and availability monitoring extensions and Agentless Services (IBM MQ only) on all supported technology/platform combinations. 

For information on installing the extensions, see Installing-the-MVMM-performance-and-availability-monitoring-extensions.

Configuring IBM MQ agentless services describes an optional way to manage IBM MQ through an "agentless" configuration where no MainView Middleware Monitor software is installed on the monitored technology host.

Subsequent sections describe how to install extensions on the supported technology/platform combinations. Refer to the appropriate section for your monitoring technology, and then refer to the section that describes the platform in use.

When starting the monitoring process, start the Agent, extensions, and technology in the following order:

  1. Start the underlying monitored technology.
  2. Start the MVMM  Extensible Agent and make sure it is running.
  3. Start the extensions.

Note

When stopping the services, stop them in the reverse order so that the monitored technology is stopped last.

Note

When the Agent and services are installed on the same computer, you can distribute the Agent to any directory on the host. However, if the Agent is on the same computer as your 

MVMM 

services, BMC recommends that you do not distribute the Agent to the 

MainView Middleware Monitor

 services install directory.
